MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, Australia – The highlight event of LSU’s Tour Down Under takes place Saturday night at the Hisense Arena at Melbourne Park as the LSU Tigers again face the CTI Melbourne United of the National Basketball League.
Tip time is just after 7 p.m. in Australia and 4 a.m. Saturday morning in the Central time zone. The teams will be meeting for the second time in 48 hours as LSU scored an impressive 97-89 win over United at the Dandenong Stadium outside Melbourne on Thursday night.
But that game was just an appetizer for a lot of people here as they get ready for what is being described as a celebration of basketball in Victoria as Melbourne United tries to rise back to its spot at the top of the NBL Ladder.
